00:00As you know, this is my first return to
00:03Pennsylvania since our rally in Butler.
00:05We're going back to Butler, too, by the way.
00:07People said to me, Are you serious?
00:15I said, I'm serious.
00:16We're going back.
00:17It's a great place.
00:19Eighteen days ago, where we had a very terrible day
00:22with a rough day, I will tell you, by all accounts,
00:25I should not be with you today.
00:28I shouldn't be with you, but I am.
00:31I want to thank all of the people of Pennsylvania
00:33for their extraordinary love and support.
00:35It is incredible.
00:36We're going to win this thing so big.
00:38We're going to win it big, including everyone at
00:41Butler Memorial Hospital.
00:43They were fantastic.
00:44Wow.
00:46Wow.
00:47They saw they saw some pretty bad things.
00:58Thank you very much.
01:06No, they they did an amazing job.
01:09And we have, by the way, we have the doctor.
01:11One of the great doctors was there.
01:14It worked on Corey, actually.
01:15He was Corey had a hard time.
01:18Corey.
01:19Corey is special.
01:22Thank you, Doctor.
01:23Appreciate it very much.
01:25Great.
01:26Great doctors.
01:28The job they did on David Dutch and James
01:31Copenhaver was just incredible.
01:34And as you know, they brought them back from
01:37very, very seriously wounded.
01:39They were going to be maybe not with us.
01:42It was a group of us, but they are doing really well
01:46now.
01:47They're making it.
01:48They're going to be fine.
01:49Not going to be perfect, maybe.
01:51But who is who is, as we get older, who is perfect?
01:57But the doctors were so great.
01:59They had two great doctors also.
02:01And most of all, we lift the memory, our memory,
02:05to the brave firefighter who was so cruelly taken
02:09from us.
02:10Corey comparator, Corey comparator, a very brave
02:16guy, loved by his family and his friends.
02:19He was really loved.
02:21In his last act on this earth, Corey threw
02:24himself over his wife and daughters and died,
02:27shielding them from the bullet.
02:29The bullets of a very disturbed guy.
02:32Corey is a hero to all of us, to all of us.
02:35I want to thank a friend of mine, too.
02:41I'm not going to mention his name because he's
02:55pretty well known.
02:57And he came up to me.
02:58He said, Would it be okay if I presented Corey's
03:03wife and family with a check?
03:05And I said, Yeah, it would be okay with me.
03:07It's certainly okay.
03:09And he handed me a check for one million dollars.
03:12One million dollars.
03:12Think of that.
03:14Thank you, Dan.
03:18So he was very generous.
03:21In addition, we have a GoFundMe.
03:23That's it's really been great.
03:27I think we're at six million dollar mark for
03:29the three of them, plus some other people.
03:32So, but you know what?
03:40Corey's wife said, I'd rather have my husband.
03:44Isn't that good?
03:46I know a lot of wives that would not say that.
03:48I'm sorry.
03:49They would not say that.
03:53But now it's a great family.
03:54He was a great man.
03:55He was a brave man.
03:56He saw what was happening and he jumped on top and
03:58they got hit.
04:00But we will carry Corey's spirit of love and
04:03devotion and patriotism with us for all time.
04:06And we will never forget Corey or his beautiful
04:09family.
04:10And maybe let's have a brief moment of silence in
04:19memory of Corey, great Pennsylvanian.
04:23Thank you very much.
04:39Thank you, everybody.
04:40Beautiful.
04:41That is the most quiet I have ever heard an arena.
04:55I have never heard you could hear a pin drop.
04:57No, it's amazing.
04:58It's a beautiful thing.
